What is the oxidation state of each element in SO3 -2?
+4
How can you calculate the oxidation state of fluorine in O2F2?
To calculate the oxidation state of fluorine in O2F2, first draw a diagram of the molecule: F-O-O-F Determine the most electronegative atom(s), which are fluorines -- the most electronegative atom there is. Being in the group 7A, a fluoride ion would gain an electron to a -1 charge, so each has an oxidation number of -1. The oxygens, therefore, have an oxidation number of +1 each.
What is the oxidation state of nitric oxide?
The whole compound is seen to be neutral (0 oxidation state) as there are no ''-/+'' which indicate the overall charge of the compound. Although within almost all situations O has a -2 oxidation state. With this being now known and we know the whole compound is neutral (0) we can then see N must have the oxidation state of +2. 0 = (-2) + (+2)
What is oxidation number of BrO3?
In the bromate ion (BrO3-) bromine is in the 5+ oxidation stae while the oxygen atoms are in the 2- oxidation state.
What is the oxidation state of Cl in HClO3?
+5. In oxyacids, oxygen has an oxidation state of -2 and hydrogen an oxidation state of +1. Therefore, the single chlorine atom must have an oxidation state of +5 for the total oxidation states to add to zero.+5. In oxyacids, oxygen has an oxidation state of -2 and hydrogen an oxidation state of +1
What is the oxidation number of each element in the compound water?
The hydrogen atoms are each in the 1+ oxidation state. The oxygen is in it's 2- oxidation state.
What is the oxidation state of each element in SO3 -2?
+4
What is the oxidation state of each element in FeBr3?
This compound is not possible, but if it had been, the oxygen should have oxidation state of -4
Cu(NO3)2 oxidation state for each element?
Copper: 2+Oxygen: 2-Nitrogen: 5+
What is the oxidation number of an elemental material?
For any element before reaction, its oxidation number is 0. Molecules made from the atoms of the same element have 0 oxidation state in each atom. Examples are gaseous hydrogen and liquid bromine.
What is the oxidation state of SO42?
In this ion the oxidation state of sulfur is 6+ and the oxidation state of each oxygen is 2-
What is the oxidation state of NaBrO3?
In NaBrO3 the oxidation state of sodium (Na) is 1+, the oxidation state of bromine is 5+ and the oxidation state of each oxygen atom is 2-
What is oxidation state of each element in n2o?
It contains only two elements. N shows +1 and oxygen shows -2.
What is the oxidation state of Li in a reactant?
Minimum oxidation number: -1 Maximum oxidation number: 1 Min. common oxidation no.: 0 Max. common oxidation no.: 1 I got this of a really cool website that has alot of infromation and useful facts about each element and trust me you'll use it a lot in chemistry. www.chemicool.com
The oxidation number of N in NH4Cl is?
1. NH4Cl is an electrically neutral compound, so the sum of the oxidation states must be zero. 2. Nitrogen is a Group 5 element and is assigned an oxidation state of -3. 3. In its covalent compounds with nonmetals, hydrogen is assigned an oxidation state of +1. There are 4 hydrogen atoms, so contributes a charge of +4. 4. The oxidation state of a monatomic ion is the same as its charge. As a Group 7 element, chlorine is assigned an oxidation state of -1. 5. Adding up the oxidation states, -3, +4, -1, gives an overall charge of 0.
What are the oxidation states of each element in CuCl2?
K[CuCl2]
What is the used to determine the number of each atom in an ionic formula?
Oxidation state is what determines the number of each atom. This is in the ionic formula.
